Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Yankees’ 5-2 win over the Mets on Friday night in the Subway Series in Queens:
Cam Schlittler’s Subway Series debut was impressive — as has just about everything else the right-hander has done since being called up last season.
He gave up just one run in 6 ¹/₃ innings, struck out nine and threw a season-high 106 pitches.
The Mets offense, arguably the worst in the majors, came up empty against Schlittler — outside of Juan Soto’s homer to left-center in the seventh inning.
Prior to that blast, they had just one hit on the night.
Ben Rice hit his 14th homer of the year in the ninth, but it was his two-out single in the third that got the Yankees’ three-run rally started against Clay Holmes.
Ben Rice connects on a single during the Yankees’ May 15 win over the Mets. Jason Szenes for the NY Post Key stat 4: Holmes hadn’t allowed more than two runs in any of his eight starts prior to Friday, when he gave up four in just 4 ¹/₃ innings.
